Buffy the Vampire Slayer Omnibus Volume 2
Writer: Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza, Christopher Golden, Doug Petrie, James Marsters, Dan Brereton, Andi Watson
Penciller: Jeff Matsuda, Cliff Richards, Brian Horton, Ryan Sook, Luke Ross
Inker: Will Conrad, Sandu Florea, Rick Ketcham
Colorist: Guy Major, Dave Stewart, and more
Genre: Action/Adventure This second volume of our Buffy omnibus series collects many of the best Buffy comics to see print. As we follow the newly chosen Slayer from Los Angeles to Sunnydale and through her parents' divorce--with Dawn in tow--the souled vampire Angel makes his first appearance and the not-so-souled Spike and Drusilla cleave a bloody path toward the West Coast. This collection includes the critically acclaimed graphic novel Ring of Fire and the miniseries A Stake to the Heart, and reflects the Season One to Season Three timeline of the cult-hit TV series. A fitting companion to Joss Whedon's comics-based relaunch of the show.Click the link to go tot he previews. www.darkhorse.com/profile/preview.php?theid=13-629&p=0

I've never seen it until I saw it on Dark Horse's site. I think it's a new one.

Almost 100%. I have all the cover images from the old Dark Horse run saved on my computer (yes, I'm a freak) and this isn't one of them. Also The Comic Book Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer says this is new.

I think I'll wait for, like, Christmas or something to pick up the Omnibuses (Omnibi?), but they look really cool.

If it's not, we can say it is! LOL.
Makes sense to me. But then again I'm not a master of language or anything certified.

Anyone here whose knowledge defeats anything dictionary.com may say? Well, considering the word "omnibus" has the Latin suffix "us," of which the plural is "i," I would say that the plural of "omnibus" is "omnibi." I believe in modern English, either would be acceptable, like "octopi" and "octopusses." But, to me, it sounds better with the "i" ending. It's a Latin word, so why not keep it's proper plural suffix?  Finally taking that Latin course has been somewhat validated. |

I got this on Monday, and I've read it and thought it was great. This was the first time I've read the old comics and I loved 'A Stake To The Heart'. It was really well drawn and written, the other stories were very good too. I still haven't been able to get my hands on the first one yet, as it's sold out, so I hope it comes back in stock soon.

This cover rocks! As do the other two.  I'm thinking about getting these but I'm not too sure. I've read a handful of Buffy comics but not many. I only got into comics at all when Buffy season 8 came out and before with the odd Buffy comic. I may get the first two for Christmas but I need to make my mind up. I heard there's gonna be 7 overall yeah? And how much are they in the UK? |
